      Program Director Interview

      8 Feb 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA)

      Interview

      I applied by e-mail to HR per website instructions. I received an email response indicating the submission date deadline. It took 5 weeks after submission deadline before I got the call for the HR screen. The request for in-person came a few days after the HR call. The HR phone interview was professional. STAR questions. The in-person interview was with 2 members of the location's executive team. Started the interview with "are you ready for the change". Coming from the for-profit world was clearly viewed as a negative. Not sure why I was called in if they had no intention of hiring from outside not-for-profit.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions were only asked from a negative perspective. What would a former subbordinate say is the hardest part of working for you? No offsetting best part question. Same question was asked about your prior superior. Again, without the correspoding best part question
